Abstract
Decentralized chemical plants close to circular carbon sources will play an important role in shaping the postfossil society. This scenario calls for carbon technologies which valorize CO2 and CO with renewable H2 and utilize process intensification approaches. The single-reactor tandem reaction approach to convert COx to hydrocarbons via oxygenate intermediates offers clear benefits in terms of improved thermodynamics and energy efficiency. Simultaneously, challenges and complexity in terms of catalyst material and mechanism, reactor, and process gaps have to be addressed. While the separate processes, namely methanol synthesis and methanol to hydrocarbons, are commercialized and extensively discussed, this review focuses on the zeolite/zeotype function in the oxygenate-mediated conversion of COx to hydrocarbons. Use of shape-selective zeolite/zeotype catalysts enables the selective production of fuel components as well as key intermediates for the chemical industry, such as BTX, gasoline, light olefins, and C3+ alkanes. In contrast to the separate processes which use methanol as a platform, this review examines the potential of methanol, dimethyl ether, and ketene as possible oxygenate intermediates in separate chapters. We explore the connection between literature on the individual reactions for converting oxygenates and the tandem reaction, so as to identify transferable knowledge from the individual processes which could drive progress in the intensification of the tandem process. This encompasses a multiscale approach, from molecule (mechanism, oxygenate molecule), to catalyst, to reactor configuration, and finally to process level. Finally, we present our perspectives on related emerging technologies, outstanding challenges, and potential directions for future research.

[PMID: 37360492 PMCID: PMC10285922 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c02127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
For dimethyl ether (DME) carbonylation, pyridine pre-adsorbed hydrogen mordenite (H-MOR) is beneficial to prolonging the catalyst life. The adsorption and diffusion behaviors on periodic models H-AlMOR and H-AlMOR-Py were simulated. The simulation was based on Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics. The following conclusions were drawn from the simulation results. The adsorption stability of CO in 8-MR is increased, and the adsorption density of CO in 8-MR is more concentrated on H-AlMOR-Py. 8-MR is the main active site for DME carbonylation, so the introduction of pyridine would be beneficial for the main reaction. The adsorption distributions of methyl acetate (MA) (in 12-MR) and H2O on H-AlMOR-Py are significantly decreased. It means the product MA and the byproduct H2O are more easily desorbed on H-AlMOR-Py. For the mixed feed of DME carbonylation, the feed ratio (PCO/PDME) must reach 50:1 on H-AlMOR so that the reaction molar ratio can reach the theoretical value (NCO/NDME ≈ 1:1), while the feed ratio on H-AlMOR-Py is only up to 10:1. Thus, the feed ratio can be adjusted, and raw materials can reduce consumption. In conclusion, H-AlMOR-Py can improve the adsorption equilibrium of reactants CO and DME and increase the concentration of CO in 8-MR.

Abstract
C1 chemistry, which is the catalytic transformation of C1 molecules including CO, CO2 , CH4 , CH3 OH, and HCOOH, plays an important role in providing energy and chemical supplies while meeting environmental requirements. Zeolites are highly efficient solid catalysts used in the chemical industry. The design and development of zeolite-based mono-, bi-, and multifunctional catalysts has led to a booming application of zeolite-based catalysts to C1 chemistry. Combining the advantages of zeolites and metallic catalytic species has promoted the catalytic production of various hydrocarbons (e.g., methane, light olefins, aromatics, and liquid fuels) and oxygenates (e.g., methanol, dimethyl ether, formic acid, and higher alcohols) from C1 molecules. The key zeolite descriptors that influence catalytic performance, such as framework topologies, nanoconfinement effects, Brønsted acidities, secondary-pore systems, particle sizes, extraframework cations and atoms, hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, and proximity between acid and metallic sites are discussed to provide a deep understanding of the significance of zeolites to C1 chemistry. An outlook regarding challenges and opportunities for the conversion of C1 resources using zeolite-based catalysts to meet emerging energy and environmental demands is also presented.
